Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

Chapter 622 - Minor Concussion

"The operation went smoothly. The patient's brain was severely affected by the heavy blow and the bleeding did not stop. But luckily, she wasn't brought here too late, so she only had a mild concussion. I still need to see the progress of your friend's health first, so I suggest that your friend be treated here for the next few days."

Hearing that made Lisa feel like the weight that was on her shoulders was lifted. Her chest cavity is no longer tight, and now the woman can breathe easily.

"Thanks."

After Vira was moved to the VIP room because Oscar was the one who covered all of the hospital expenses, Dani came out from inside to take care of the paperwork. 

Since Vira's bed was placed in the cold room, Lisa did not move from beside her friend. She sat dumbfounded, stroking Vira's palm which was connected to an IV line.

"Lisa," Oscar called softly while touching her shoulder, "You'd better go home now. I can call Mrs. Rusminah to look after Vira, so you can calm down."

Lisa actually wanted to stay longer in the hospital, but her body was tired and her clothes looked like someone who had just been robbed. She couldn't bear to leave Vira alone in the quiet and cold VIP room.

But again, her body felt like it could collapse anytime soon. Lisa just wanted to change clothes and straighten her back on the soft mattress.

"I can't bear to leave Vira alone here.."

"I already said that Mrs. Rusminah will replace you here. So hurry home and rest. Change your clothes and then go to sleep, I don't want you to get sick."

Lisa cleared her throat, "Yeah, I'd better go home now."

"You can come back anytime here, but make sure you get enough rest. Don't let yourself get sick just because you're too worried about Vira. Remember what the doctor said earlier. Vira is fine," Oscar replied.

Lisa stood up from the chair next to the bed and squeezed her hand. She picked up her tote bag on the small table and turned around and looked into Oscar's clear blue eyes.

"Send my warmest regards and gratitude to Mrs. Rusminah. Don't forget to let me know if Vira wakes up later, okay?"

Oscar nodded his head and gave Lisa a warm smile. "Okay, don't worry."

Then Oscar turned his gaze and saw Dani who had just entered the room. "Take Lisa home."

"Yes sir." Dani replied, then opened the door to the VIP room and said, "Come on, Mrs. Lisa, I'll take you home now."

In the silent and cold car, Lisa leaned her back against the back of the seat. She turned her head and saw several buildings passing by. Every time Lisa closed her eyes, either to blink or to almost fall asleep, the terrible memories of last night kept playing in her mind.

If Oscar didn't come that night, Lisa couldn't imagine what would have happened to her and Vira. Maybe they were lying unconscious in that narrow alley now. Maybe their clothes are a lot more tattered than they are now. 

Or worse, maybe they're dead now.

"Dani, just take me to the apartment." Lisa suddenly said.

Dani looked at Lisa from the rearview mirror, "But—"

"The distance from the apartment to the hospital is close, not as far as Oscar's house to the hospital. It won't take a lot of time if I want to go there." Lisa interrupted.

Hearing that made Dani silent for a few seconds. He didn't know whether to obey Oscar or Lisa.

"But Mr. Oscar told me to take you to his house, not the apartment." Dani replied. He didn't want Oscar to scold him so badly just because he took Lisa to the woman's apartment and not to his house.

It can take a long time!

"Just take me back to the apartment. If Oscar asks you, just say that I asked you to take me there."

Dani looked back at Lisa from the rearview mirror. The man's eyes looked unsure but he was already looking for a way around the corner.

"If there is anything, please contact me immediately, Mrs. Lisa." Dani asked while swerving to the right.

Lisa just cleared her throat and closed her eyes.

A week later...

Time goes by slowly, at least for Lisa. Every day she had to see Vira wince in pain and sometimes hear the woman's complaints about her aching head. But over time, Vira's condition improved. 

In terms of age, Vira is indeed younger than Lisa, so her healing process can be said to be fast. From day to day, Vira has started to return to being the girl that Lisa knows. Someone who loves to gossip and play online games on her cell phone.

Every day, every time for breakfast, lunch, and even dinner, Lisa always came to visit the hospital. Her hands are never empty. She always had something with her. Whether it's homemade food or fruit juices that she buys near the office.

Even though Vira already got food from the hospital, that didn't stop Lisa from bringing her some food or drink.

Within a week, Vira was sure her weight had increased by 6 kg.

"Oops, Sis Lisa, you don't have to go to the hospital every day, ah! I am getting better now, I can eat by myself and go to the toilet by myself! The doctor just said that I can go home in 3 days." 

The reason Vira said it was only one. She doesn't want to gain weight because of Lisa's pamper!

Lisa chuckled, then forced Vira to open her mouth wide. The woman then put a piece of watermelon into Vira's mouth.

"There's no need to protest. You're sick, what's wrong if I want to take care of you until you get better? You're like this because of me!" Lisa took another piece of watermelon and ate it, "I feel guilty, you know."

"Eh!? No! This is because of my own stupid actions, not your fault! I roped you into a dangerous situation, I should be the one who feels guilty for bothering you all the time."

Lisa wrinkled her forehead, "It's not you who's at fault, it's just those jerks."

After saying that, no more sound was heard within the VIP room. Lisa was silent, sat next to Vira's bed and saw the woman munching on the watermelon slices lazily.

Lisa knows that Vira must feel full, but she just wants her to get well soon by eating healthy food such as fruits and food from the hospital.

"Oh, right.. Since when did you start getting drunk like that? Is there something you're hiding from me?" Lisa finally asked.
